Flappy Bird Returns!

It only took all of one day for the world to become obsessed with Flappy Bird, which is why it was that much more shocking when its creator, Doug Nguyen took it down! It was devastating. Seriously. But Doug heard our cries and is bringing Flappy Bird back this year!

When the game-maker retired the app back in February, he said it was for our (and his!) own good, calling it too addictive (true), and saying he regretted creating a game that took over peoples lives (guilty). While the Twittersphere mourned the loss of the beloved game #ripflappybird, Doug was actually busy creating a new—less addictive—version of the awesome game. The new Flappy Bird app will be available to download in August, leaving you just enough time to master Candy Crush and 2048.
